Message: <blockquote data-quote="KarinsDad" data-source="post: 3842991" data-attributes="member: 2011">I disagree.The target audience should be 30 to 40 if they are smart.The reason for this is that this is the relative age range where many people settle down and slow up on other activities like sports and many more "further away from home" hobbies. Sure, many people still do sports in their 30s, but this is the age range where many people enter a more sedentary lifestyle. They start buying homes and raising families and mowing lawn on the weekends instead of partying at a nightclub or heading off into the mountains for backpacking or kayaking.So, this is the age range were many people look to other less active forms of social interactive entertainment like going to the movies with friends or playing DND. And, I think WotC understands this.There is a reason why there are currently about 60% of all DND players between the ages of 30 and 40, not between the ages of 20 and 30 (which is probably closer to 20%, another 10% under 20 and 10% over 40). And, it is for social and cultural reasons. And as the years go by, the bell curve on age will probably not move or change shape a lot. More people entering their late 20s and early 30s will start playing DND and more people entering their 40s or 50s will stop playing it and find other activities.Theoretically, 30 to 40 (give or take a few years either way) should be the target audience of WotC and DND forever because age based social pressures and influences do not change that drastically.</blockquote>
